Question about setting lever


Recommended Posts

Hi All

This is an EB 1575N Roskopf pin leverthat I'm learning on. https://17jewels.info/movements-en/movements-e-en/movements-e-eb-en/417-eb-1575n.html

I don't see where the setting lever attaches.  In the pics below, it's simply resting on the stem.  The link above has a similiar pic.  As far as I can tell,  the dial is the only thing that goes over it.  You can also see that there's a threaded post that's attached.  Wouldn't something screw onto it.

All comments welcome.

Charlie

Not sure if I'm understanding your question? Then you don't quite have things correct in the picture. The detent the protruding pin goes into the slot of the stem not where it is now. The setting lever goes into the notch of the clutch wheel as opposed to where it is now and then everything should be fine. Sometimes on really cheap watches they minimalize the components.

The screw on the setting lever is broken of. You need to find a new screw and it will probably work as it should. The setting lever arm should rest on the clutch wheel . Like in the picture. No need for a setting lever spring on this movement as it seams.

It didn't occur to me that the screw was sheared (beginner here).   Under higher magnification I can see the shear in the 2nd pic.

It looks like the it should be screwed into the hole highlighted below. Is that correct?  

Is a pin vice (which I don't have) the optimal tool for removing the broken screw?  Finally, Cousins UK sells "All Kinds Mixed Screws".  Is this a good place to start for a replacement?

Many thanks to all!

That screw should be easy to remove as you have something to grip. A Knipex endcutter or similar . Or a small bench vice. As for the screw i think need a setting lever screw. But maybe can get away with a normal screw in the right size .

    • Hello, I am about 5 months into watchmaking and I love it!   The attention to precise detail is what really attracts me to it. (and the tools!) I am working on a 16 jewel 43mm pocket watch movement.   There are no markings besides a serial number (122248) .  The balance staff needs replacement. The roller side pivot broke off.  I successfully removed the hairspring using Bergeon 5430's.  I successfully removed the roller using Bergeon 2810.   Did i mention I love the tools?! I removed the staff from the balance wheel using a vintage K&D staff removal tool  with my Bergeon 15285 (that's the one that comes with a micrometer adjustment so it can be used as a jewel press as well as a traditional staking tool...it's sooooo cool...sorry..  can you tell i love the tools?) No more digressing..  I measured the damaged staff in all the relevant areas but I have to estimate on some because one of the pivots is missing. A = Full length  A= 4.80mm  (that's without the one pivot...if you assume that the missing pivot is the same length as the other pivot (I'm sure it's not)  then A = 5.12 mm...(can I assume 5.00mm here?) F=  Hair spring collet seat  F=  .89mm   (safe to assume .90 here? .. I am sure that my measurement's would at least contain  .01 mm error ?) G = balance wheel seat  G = 1.23 mm  (1.20mm?) H  =  roller staff  H =  .59mm  (.60 mm?) B  = bottom of the wheel to roller pivot   B  = 2.97mm  (3.00 mm?)     here I am estimating  again because this pivot is missing. So my friends, and I thank you profusely,  can you point me in the right direction as to how to proceed? Do i buy individual staffs?  or an assortment?   Since I don't know exactly the name of the manufacturer, will that be a fatal hindrance?   Tbh, I'm not even sure what country of origin this movement is. Thank you!    
    • Thats why i asked that question earlier, what happens if lubrication is placed directly on top of epilame ?  As opposed to walled within its non epilamed area . I'm not saying its right, i have no idea , just asking questions. 
    • thinking of where epilam should be removed did you know there was a patent that covers this? At least for the escapement I'm attaching it. GB1057607A-1 epilame.pdf
    • Back home...printing now.  Will report results
    • Oh well, if Master @nickelsilver says it's the way to go, then it is the way to go! I stand corrected! 🫡 Are there any other places where you're supposed to remove the epilame from the contact point of rubbing? I don't think so! Thanks for the effort @Neverenoughwatches, much appreciated! 🙂👍
